After taking a few days off for Christmas and then coming down with the worst head cold ever Christmas night (at least it waited till everything was over!), I am slowly emerging from the fog and catching up on coupon deals.

If you have hung around here long enough, you know that I LOVE swagbucks! I have shared on facebook several times over the last month how I have been ordering presents from Amazon using FREE gift cards I earned from Swagbucks. (In fact, don’t tell my husband, but I got all of his Christmas presents for practically nothing from Amazon!)

So here is a Christmas present to YOU from Swagbucks – sign up today AND enter HOLIDAYSWAG at registration to get 100 SWAGBUCKS (normal registration is only 30 so this is a great deal!)

The code is only good through the end of the year so don’t delay.

(If you aren’t sure what swagbucks is all about or how to earn free gift cards, check out my Swagbucks 101 series.)

Get an embroidered personalized stocking for $9.00! And get it shipped for free and have it arrive in 3 business days! You could even fill it with treats and use it for a last minute office gift idea. Or it would make a great gift for a new baby – embroidered with the name and filled with baby supplies.

Looking for a free menu planning system? Plan meals and save money with Food on the Table. It combines the weekly sales from your local grocery store with your family's food preferences. Your Free membership allows you to plan up to three meals per week. For more than 3 meals a week and more recipes, you can upgrade to the premium version for a low introductory rate of $5/month.

Redbox is offering 12 days of deals. Text “FUN” to 727272 to get a discount code every day for the next 12 days. It will range from a $0.25 – $1.00 each day (people seem to be getting $0.25 discounts today.)

Looking for affordable yet personal stocking stuffers? Get a custom mug from Vistaprint! These 11-oz. ceramic mugs are the perfect way to send warm wishes to loved ones. Turn this stocking stuffer idea into a theme by including gourmet coffees and teas, hot chocolate packages, cookies and more as additional stocking stuffers. Customize your mug with your choice of design and text, then get it for free – just pay shipping of $5.79.

I will say though, look at the MANY exclusions! Macy’s is notorious for excluding TONS of things (including their value brand –Everyday Value) on their coupons so some of your items may not apply to this discount.

This would make a wonderful, cheap, educational gift for kids on your list! Jenae at I Can Teach My Child has the templates and instructions all prepared for you – all you need is some felt (as low as 25¢ a sheet), scissors, and glue! Go here to get all the details and the pattern.
